1. March 10th, I was happy to see a pair of Eastern Bluebirds visiting my bird houses.  I hope to see them raising their young this season. 





2. March 11th, my morning walk with Miney on the fire road. The trail is closest to my house and there are views of the reservoir.  





3. March 11th, I am still seeing the pair of Eastern Bluebirds coming and going to the birdhouses.


"Your bluebird of happiness is waiting for you."






4. March 12, I am sharing my yard birds , I had a nice variety of birds like the Northern Cardinal, the Mockingbird, a Pine Warbler , the Bluebird and the Titmouse.





5. March 12th, it was a warm day in the low 70's. I was happy to see the Peacock visiting, he hasn't been seen since last fall. We were getting ready to leave to meet hubby's cousin for lunch when the Peacock started his dance in front of the car. 





6. March 12th, the Red-bellied Woodpecker was able to eat some of the suet nuggets. Usually the woodpeckers are chased away by the Mockingbird.





7. March 12th, I was surprised this photo turned out ok, I wanted to get the cardinal perched but he flew off when I captured him in flight.





8. April 25th Arbor Day

Celebrate Arbor Day, plant a tree.


"He who plants a tree plants hope."






A flashback from my facebook page, from March 2016. A favorite bird is the Red-headed Woodpecker seen at the North Point State Park. I have not seen these birds since this time, they have safely moved on I hope.




A Sept 2015 flashback from the North Point SP, we saw a few Tricolored Herons, The park is more known for seeing the Little Blue Herons, it was a treat to see the Tricolored Herons.

Still over a month behind, I am sharing photos of my yard birds, photos from our walks with Miney and our outings. My post is a mish mash of photos and a few flashback images from our visits to Florida.

1. March 7th,  another morning walk on the local fire road with Miney.  





2. March 7th, our neighbors asked us to let their Goldendoodle out mid-day since they were away for the day. They mentioned we would not recognize Casey, she was groomed and looking more like a yellow lab. We took Miney with us so they could play.  






3. March 8th, another walk on the local fire road with Miney. During our walks I am still looking out for any birds.  Usually I hear more than I see, the Titmouse and Woodpeckers are vocal. I can hear the geese on the lake a little distance away. There were vultures flying around above us.    






4. March 9th, we took our walk on the local George's Creek trail. At this time everything is still looking brown, still winter here. I saw a couple of Brown Creepers, lots of Bluebirds and a Mockingbird. Near by I heard the Canada Geese, Woodpeckers, Song Sparrows, Chickadees and Cardinals.






5. March 9th, a closer look at a couple of the Brown Creepers.





6. March 9th, views from our walk at George's Creek, which flows into the Prettyboy Reservoir. 





March 9th, I heard lots of Bluebirds. They seem to be very vocal this morning.  





7. Flashback another Florida bird is the Little Blue Heron. The bicolored bill looks especially beautiful during the breeding time.






8. Florida Flashback, the Loggerhead Shrike was a common bird we saw in many Florida parks. 





Easter bonus image, we went to an Easter Breakfast with the family. Our grandsons are a little shy near the Easter bunny but Sophie does not mind at all.




For some reason I am not able to comment on Wordpress blogs even when I am signed in. I have tried various blogs and the same happens on each blog.
